Solution

The correct code snippet that implements this behavior using a while loop is:

while true; do
read -p "Enter a value (type 'quit' to exit): " input
if [ "$input" == "quit" ]; then
break
fi
done

This script works by creating an infinite loop with while true; do. It then prompts the user for input with read -p. If the input is "quit", it breaks the loop with break. If the input is anything else, it continues to prompt the user for input.
